The act of 1715 (1 Rev. Stat., ch. 65, sec. 11) will bar an action brought by a county trustee against the executors of a county ranger for money received by their testator in that character, where more than seven years had elapsed from his death to the bringing of the action.
PER CURIAM.
The act of 1715 is clearly a bar to the plaintiff's recovery; and it is not, therefore, necessary to consider the question as to the ordinary statute of limitations.
